Sniper! as an MMO on the old CompuServe system? Was this the first real shared-reality wargame? Who signed up for this – was it you?
Reminder – we’re off next week for Origins. See you in 2 weeks 🙂

This is the 2nd Scenario in the US Pacific Campaign for Order of Battle WW2. The First Scenario is Pearl Harbor which is not suited for an AAR. I’m playing on the Lt. Level.
The end of the battle, and the fall of the Philippines?

Following up the success at Pearl Harbor the Japanese invaded many areas in the Pacific. The largest concentration of US ground forces were in the Philippines. The Japanese landed with huge forces after McArthur allowed almost his entire air force to be destroyed on the ground. McArthur retreated southward towards the Bataan Peninsula.
In terms of good old fashioned board game mayhem, what games come immediately to mind? Car Wars, certainly (and it just happens I wrote more than a few nostalgia pieces on that very game in the last many months). Nuklear Winter ’68 (Lock n’ Load Publishing) is yet another. Waste Knights, Last Battle: Twilight 2000, The Omega Wars – just to name but a few – with any of them, you’ve got a wide range of different systems, complexities, and entertainment that all bring a good and ruined Earth to the table as a backdrop.
The artwork alone could give you radiation poisoning, but in a good way.
